3. Create your own blog

Follow the steps as instructed in the youtube video below to create your own blog.

Keep the following in mind:

1. Your blog will be read and responded to by your classmates and myself. It is meant to be an online journal about media, rather than a personal blog. Do not include comments or write about topics you wish to be private; use language appropriate for the classroom.

2. Come up with a creative title for your blog. This title should reflect in some ways your ideas about media, but not necessarily limit your topic choices. Search 'quotes about media' for some ideas.

3. Choose a user name that will make you easy to identify (your first name and last initial) in your blog posts.

3. When you have created your blog, I will post a link to each of them on the class blog so everyone in the class may have access to it. Links to your classmates' blogs will be found by clicking on their names in the sidebar of the class blog.

(note: to find your blog address after you have created it go to

customize - settings - publishing)

4. Check out the style of some successful bloggers. Model their style, content and personality.
